Storyline
In the action-comedy "21 Jump Street," Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems behind. Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school. As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few years earlier and neither expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being a teenager again and all the issues they thought they had left behind.

Trivia
2012 Guide Analysis: "An action comedy spoof of the late 80's/early 90's TV series that made a star out of Johnny Depp, this seems to only retain the show's basic premise of cops going undercover in high school. Edgy and fresh for its time, these days the concept seems rather trite - yet would still work better than the practically unsalvageable mess that the terrible first trailer (both red-band and regular) hinted at. A cameo by Depp will be worth a laugh though."
